FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter use?
While these are excellent for three-season wear, for deep winter you may want to look for the specific Winter Lined versions.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
Consult the size chart provided for your specific UK dress or waist size. The stretch fabric provides a forgiving fit.
Can I iron these trousers?
Usually, they do not require ironing due to the Wash&Wear technology. If needed, use a cool iron on the reverse side.
Does the insect repellent wash out?
The protection is designed to be durable, but it will gradually reduce in efficacy over many wash cycles.
Are these trousers noisy when walking?
No, unlike some stiff waterproof overtrousers, these are made from a soft, flexible blend that is quiet during movement.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off; apply a technical water-repellent treatment to restore performance.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure all detergent is fully rinsed out and avoid using fabric softeners which leave a waxy residue on technical fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your Craghoppers Kiwi Pro II Trousers, follow these guidelines:
- Care Instructions: Machine wash on a standard cool cycle. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners as these can degrade the DWR coating.
- Drying: The Wash&Wear fabric is quick-drying; hang them up after washing and they will be ready to wear shortly. Tumble drying is generally not recommended to preserve material integrity.
- Maintaining DWR: If water stops beading on the surface over time, use a technical DWR spray-on or wash-in treatment to restore the water-repellent performance.
- Compatibility: The neutral design pairs well with standard hiking boots and base layers, making them versatile for layering in cooler temperatures.
